Jim went in for his first ocean swim today and said it really wasn't that cold. He stayed in about 10 minutes and said it was quite warm in places. He would have stayed in longer if I had gone in.
I'll join him next time.
I see last year the first day we got into the ocean was July 11 but then we were in Victoria for that first week or so of July. But certainly with "Juneuary" last year there certainly wasn't any chance of swimming then.
